Up There

Maneuvered by metaphor,

sashayed with clichés,

I looked up and it was still there,

that sun pasted between

a cobalt wall

with translucent clouds

brushing in the fore.

A golden pill hung

before I ever was

and hanging still

when my blip bleeps its last.

I relish every age spot

given by its graces,

and return its due

respect after

tender shoulders

absorb aloe vera.

A light by which

I see.

A warmth by which

I feel.

A presence by which

I love.

      Time for you to write a poem Jasper!

        Poems are harder to come by these days. My ability to ponder has changed from a couple years ago. It’s when I’m in a pondering phase that the poems seem to evolve.
        Some day.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
